I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'

I just don't feel comfortable anymore with the kind of attention that I'm getting. It's purely the numbers of people that want a bit of the Cure or want a bit of me.

Reading is something I've really missed, not being able to enter people's worlds.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.
